Why the hell would someone pay the full "BIN" price when there's a "OBO" option? Come on.

Its a BIN/OBO. No harm in a high ceiling.

There's an ongoing epidemic between buyers and sellers. Both parties are probably equally to blame.

If it was listed for $5k OBO, he'd get offers of like $400. Totally unacceptable.
I agree $35k is a joke. But if he expected $35k he wouldn't have the option for "best offer" now would he? A lot of people choose to ignore that.
With a ceiling of $35k, hopefully he'd at least get offers that were.. ya know, not $400.

At the same time, the high ceiling scares off potential buyers, cause they're fearful that the seller is gonna have a high threshold for what constitutes a "lowball" and they're just gonna hear the same "omg dont lowball me u jerk!!111 lolnoob", and it'd end up being a total waste of time for everyone.
It becomes a waste of time for the seller if they list without that high ceiling and have to spend the first two eBay counter-offers trying to convince the buyer to go high enough for the seller to break even.

I also just want to get it out, I've been running/bumping like 4 or 5 threads that are for both selling and buying recently, and none of these comments/opinions are related to any recent events/people in any of my threads.

i don't think he would get $400 offers with a $5k bin but then again i haven't dealt with items that high myself. that being said, i would even want to deal with a person who listed a card like that at 35k, i can't take them seriously.

VERY TRUE!! someone offered me $350 on my CUP Gabriel Landeskog /99 and that card's BV is at $1500! Like really come on! Any cards like these is basically up to sole owner's asking price because its 1/1. I remember seeing a RNH Ultimate Shield end at $17,000 on ebay! very impressive! But this is the CUP and its a lot of money to buy a tin and start gambling with it lol. To the person who pulled it....CONGRATS and Good Luck with sale!
